The book will offer students, researchers, policymakers, and industry bodies an insight about the changing perspectives regarding FDI from traditional theory to new theory, from local to global link, and from opportunity to responsibility. The readers of the book can understand the various factors, determinants, and theories that underpin the presence of firms in the global economy. The book illustrates by way of case studies specific implications of FDI policy and practice on issues like ecology and environment, technology transfer, labor market, and relevance of further liberalization policies in FDI in the context of Indian economy. Though many cases give positive and negative implications of foreign investment, however, the book compiles specific cases that are well debated by Indian lawmakers and public institutions. The coverage for such an important theme is so vast to cover in a single volume therefore, this volume restrictsits analysis to select few themes and hope that this endeavor will trigger an ongoing debate on myriad aspects and concerns of FDI in countries like India.
